Hezbollah, Hamas resilient but ready to study ceasefire proposals as Israel pummels Gaza, Lebanon - as it happened.
23:00 Egyptian sources told Al-Ahram Weekly that US Intelligence Chief William Burns is expected to arrive in Cairo to hold a new round of talks to reach a truce in Gaza.
Burns' visit would come three days after his stop in Doha for another round of talks with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and Israeli and Egyptian security officials.
Early this week, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi unveiled on Sunday an Egyptian initiative for a ceasefire in Gaza for two days in which four Israeli captives are exchanged for several Palestinian prisoners.
